and why inventory is recognised as a current
asset at the reporting date.

Overview of the topic

• Definition of inventory
• Recording of inventory
• Measurement of inventory
• At initial recognition
• Subsequently
• Disclosure of inventory

Definition
Inventory are ASSETS (both tangible and
intangible), that:
• Are held for sale in the ordinary course of
business; or
• Are in the process of production for such sale; or
• Are consumed during the production of saleable
goods or services.

Whether a certain item is classified as inventory


depends solely on its purpose to the entity.

Classification of an asset as inventory
Asset: Motor vehicle

Owner: Car dealership

The vehicle is used as a shuttle


for clients having their vehicles
serviced at the dealership
Purpose/intention:
The vehicle stands on the
dealership floor for sale to the public

Classification of an asset as inventory


Asset: Building - Warehouse

Owner: Construction company

Storage of building materials used by the


company

Purpose/intention: The building is leased to a 3rd party

The construction company is in the business


of building warehouses and the warehouse
is one of many build in an industrial park and
available for sale to the public

Scope of IAS 2

Exclude:
- Financial instruments
- Biological assets
Partially exclude:
- Mineral and mineral products
- Commodity brokers
- Producers of agricultural and forest products

Recording of inventory

Either the PERIODIC RECORDING method or the


PERPETUAL RECORDING method must be
applied when recording the purchase of inventory

Measurement

Measurement has to do with the AMOUNT at


which an item is recognised in the financial
records.

11

Measurement of Inventory (Initial)

Inventory is measured at cost.

6
12
Measurement of Inventory
The historical cost of inventories includes:
→ Purchasing cost
→ Conversion cost (New!)
→ Other costs incurred in bringing inventories to their present
location and condition.

13

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of purchase
→ The cost of inventory would include all costs directly associated
with the acquisition, such as:
o Purchase price
o Transport cost (inwards)
o Import duties and transaction taxes that are not reclaimable
by the business
o Other direct costs

7
14
Measurement of Inventory
Cost of purchase
→ The following costs would be excluded from the cost of
inventory:
o Transport costs (outwards)
o Import duties and transaction taxes that are reclaimable by
the business
o Financing costs due to extended payment terms

15

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of purchase
→ The following would be set-off against the cost of the inventory
o Rebates received
o Trade, bulk and cash discounts received
o Settlement discounts received or expected to be received

16
Measurement of Inventory

EXAMPLE 1
→ Reneben Ltd purchased 10 office desks for resale. The supplier
agreed to supply the desks at R230 per desk.
→ The supplier grants a 10% early settlement discount provided
that the invoice is settled within 30 days.
→ Reneben Ltd has contracted a furniture removal company to
collect the furniture from the supplier in Durban and deliver it to
the showroom in Gauteng. The removal company charged the
entity a non-refundable R460 for delivery of the 10 desks.

17

Measurement of Inventory

EXAMPLE 1...continued
→ A goods-in-transit insurance was taken out with the entity’s
insurance brokers covering any damage to the desks while in
transit, limited to the value of the original invoice price paid. The
premium in respect of this insurance was R115.
→ On route to Gauteng, an attempt was made to hijack the delivery
truck and one of the desks was irreparably damaged. A claim
was submitted to the insurance company.
→ The entity is a registered VAT vendor and so are all the
suppliers it deals with.

EXAMPLE 2
→ Inventories-R-Us Ltd purchased inventory on extended credit
terms on 1 January 2018 from one of its suppliers.
→ The entity has to pay the supplier R6 325 for the inventory on
31 December 2018.
→ A market related interest rate for a similar transaction is 10% per
annum.
REQUIRED:
Calculate the cost of sales for the period ending 31 December
2018.

Measurement of Inventory
EXAMPLE 2_SOLUTION
PV = 5 750
FV = 6 325
n = 1
i = 10%
The cost of the goods purchased is R5 750, and the difference of
R575 (R6 325 – R5 750) will be accounted for as finance charges in
profit or loss.

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Direct cost relating to the units of production
→ Indirect cost
o indirect fixed production overheads (allocated on normal
capacity but limited to actual costs incurred); and
o indirect variable production overheads (allocated on actual
use)

23

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Direct cost relating to the units of production
o Are those costs that can be allocated directly to the
production process and are directly attributable to each unit
or group of units produced.
o Examples of direct costs are direct labour and materials
used.
o Direct costs incurred vary in direct relation to the number of
units produced and are therefore all variable costs.

12
24
Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Indirect cost
o Indirect costs are sometimes also referred to as ‘production
overheads’, which are costs that cannot be allocated to the
production of a specific unit, but rather to the production
process in general.
o For example, a factory’s water and electricity costs are
indirect costs.

25

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Indirect cost
o Variable production overheads are those costs that vary
depending on the number of units produced.
o There is a direct correlation between the number of units
produced and the variable cost incurred.
o Variable costs vary directly with the volume of production
and are allocated to each unit of production based on the
actual number of units produced for the period.

13
26
Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Indirect cost
o Examples of variable production overheads are:
» The cost of water and electricity may increase when
more units are produced, even though it will not increase
in direct relation to the increased production.
» If the factory increases production, the use of indirect
labour may also increase (for example, if more packers
are needed).

27

Measurement of Inventory
Cost of conversion (IAS 2, par 13)
→ Indirect cost
o Fixed production overheads are indirect costs that do not
vary depending on the number of units produced.
o Fixed costs stay constant, irrespective of the level of
production.
o An example of fixed production overheads is the cost of
depreciation and the maintenance of factory buildings,
which generally remains fairly constant irrespective of the
volume of production.

28
Measurement of Inventory
EXAMPLE 3
→ Cleron Ltd manufactures product Topaz for resale.
→ Purchases of raw materials are made at the start of every week
and amount to 800 tons per week (which equals normal
capacity). Purchasing costs per ton of raw materials is R75.
→ In addition to this customs duties of R5 per ton and carriage of
R10 per ton are incurred to transport the materials to the factory.

→ Further information in respect of topaz for the year ended 31
December 2011:
o Variable production overheads: R25 per ton
o Fixed production overheads: R16 000 per week
→ One ton of raw material produces one ton of finished goods.
→ Closing inventories of finished goods on hand at 31 December
2011 amounted to 200 tons.

Measurement of Inventory
Step 2:

Net realisable Value (NRV) is the estimated selling price (ESP)


which could be realised in the normal course of business less the
estimated cost to be incurred in order to complete (CTC) the
product and to make the sale (CTS).

Formula for NRV = ESP – CTC – CTS

81

Measurement of Inventory
Step 3:

Determine which one is the lowest and calculate any possible write
downs

Step 1: Determine the lowest amount between cost or net


realisable value.
Step 2: Adjust the value of inventory on the SFP if needed to
be reflected at the lowest amount.

Net realisable value (NRV)
EXAMPLE 9
→ A company has inventory on hand at year end
(31 December 2018) that it expects to be able to sell in the
ordinary course of business for R100.
→ In order to sell this inventory, the company expects to incur
selling cost of R20 and expects to incur further costs of R30 to
put this inventory into a saleable condition.
